Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of his name: never read her his word
Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep
And her daddy went out

And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night
Behind their couch she'd be hiding
Oh what a sad little life
And like it always does,the bad just got worse
With every slap and every curse
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life

And some people from the city took the girl far away
To a new mom and a new dad
Kisses and hugs everyday

Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
And a small little girl stared at a picture of him
She said I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know his name
But I know he got off

Cause he was there in my old house, held me close to his side
As I hid there behind our
couch
The night that my parents died.

Yes, that is a very good song by John Michael Montgomery.

I get emotional when I hear this song by Toby Keith also... "Santa, I'm Right Here"

I was downtown Christmas shopping
Such a busy city street
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
I stopped and froze right in my tracks
As I read what it had to say

Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here

It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring

Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn
Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls

Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here

I'm right here
I'm right here

Wow never heard that song before, nice song that has a happy ending .... listened to the toby keith one also, another good song. How about the Christmas shoes song, not sure who sings it .... or concrete angel by martina mcbride

I have to agree about "The christmas shoe" and can't even watch the video it is so sad
